Lovely old building housing both a small hotel (6 rooms) and a superb restaurant, Thai by Ja, expertly run by Ja and Martin - and with a 15% discount for hotel guests. At £101.75 for the room and breakfast, plus £35.50 for a super meal with two beers, it was a bargain. Almost worth making a special trip to the Isle of Wight for. Hotel check-in is self-service, based on pre-registration and an SMS to tell you your room number and the codes needed to enter the hotel and access your room key. Unfortunately, I didn't get an SMS and arrived to find a locked door quoting an emergency phone number that was diverted to voicemail. However, there was also a sign saying the restaurant, whose entrance is just around the corner of the building, was open. There I found Ja's other very friendly half, Martin, who let me in and gave me the key to my first floor room, room 2. Note that there is no lift and half the rooms are on the second floor. My room was spacious, with a rustic look but it had both underfloor heating and a Daikin heating and airco system plus a modern bathroom. Ja (or Martin) had forgotten to put out any towels but this was quickly remedied by Martin. The room had a spacious cupboard with 6 clothes hangers and a safe, plus a chest of drawers, two bedside tables, an old workman's table as a desk and a fan, as well as the very comfortable bed, two antique industrial stools, an armchair, a Nespresso-type coffee machine, a ketlle and a hairdryer (see the comment below about the shower). For my taste, there were two minor negatives: I don't much like hotel rooms with carpeted floors or so-called rain showers, above the bath moreover, which mean that it's difficult to shower without getting your hair wet. There was ample lighting and some 8 power points, though none in the bathroom.

We were pleased to have booked 'One Holyrood Hotel' - it was a lovely stay with wonderful, friendly staff and our room was great!! We stayed in Room 5 which had a lovely carved wooden bed and very comfy mattress! The breakfast was excellent with quite a good selection of eggs, meats, cereals, etc. and was delicious! They have a beautiful garden in the back of the hotel with tables/chairs to sit and enjoy a drink or just relax after a day of sightseeing to admire the flowers especially the wisteria trailing over the arbour. The location is only a 5 minute walk from the bus station, easy to get to anywhere you desire on the Island. We bought a 7 day pass which allowed us to hop on/off, change bus #'s and explore the quaint villages and coastline.....all wonderful!! We highly recommend staying at 'One Holyrood Hotel' - you'll be happy you did!!

Cowes for me is the gateway to the Isle of Wight.

Cowes for me is the gateway to the Isle of Wight. East Cowes is where the vehicle ferry arrives and departs and there is more parking on this side than in the main town which is a chain ferry ride away. If you are a nautical person and enjoy the sea and everything that goes on in it this is a mecca for you.

East Cowes isn't really a tourist area, it is mostly residential. It's ideal for a base if you have your own transport, and don't mind driving round the island. The good thing is if you are sailing with Red Funnel, you are literally only just up the road. Waitrose, a doctors surgery and 2 pharmacies are all nearby, as is Osborne (Queen Victoria's island home). I think Osborne is the only nearby tourist attraction. I found East Cowes to be very quiet. Ideal after a long day exploring and having fun. However, if you want to stay right in the middle of things, you will be disappointed.

There is really nothing in East Cowes, however it is a 2 min ferry ride to Cowes. The ferry goes every few mins, either foot passenger or car. No booking needed. The ferry puts you in the middle of town. Highly recommend to stay in East Cowes and ferry to Cowes. Far less expensive.

An easy walk down to the waterfront.

An easy walk down to the waterfront. Take the floating bridge {chain ferry} across to Cowes. Lovely little town to walk around. Good pub called The Lifeboat within walking distance of the Prince of Wales, good food and great view of the boats.

The location is very quiet and peaceful, and yet close to the famous landmark Osborne House, within walking distance. The room was neat and comfy, with all amenities and facilities present. It was very nice to find complimentary toiletries and coffee/tea as well as closet space and a hair dryer available. The owner was very friendly and helpful, shared lots of useful tourist information about traveling and sightseeing not only locally in East Cowes, but also all around Isle of Wight. Would definitely recommend for someone else to stay!

The boat is beautifully restored and tastefully decorated; a real gem. Everything was very clean and lovingly cared for. We loved hearing the water lapping at the hull as we rested and waking up to see gulls, cormorants and egrets. Sam thoughtfully left us some unexpected extras in the kitchen which was a thoughtful and generous touch. We would definitely stay here again - much more fun than a hotel or a B&B.

Staff were extremely pleasant and helpful, room was clean, cooked breakfast tasty. It is right outside Osbourne House and has bus stop outside and opposite, but personally if you are walking the Coastal Path then I would suggest you finish at East Cowes ferry, cross and stay in Cowes.
